Celebrating 15 years of presenting the supply chain to the hotel industry in the Middle East and African region, The Hotel Show once again taking place in Dubai at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

“Whilst we have been at the heart of the industry for 15 years, we also look forward to the dynamic opportunities that the market here has to offer the international supplier base – not least with EXPO 2020 Dubai. The Hotel Show is now established as not just a vital event for business but an annual meeting place for sourcing, networking, and education for the hospitality and leisure industries.

“Remaining one of the fastest growing regions worldwide with forecasts of growth of 3% up to 2016, we focus on being the event that brings real opportunities to all who participate”. Says Christine Davidson, Event Director.

New for 2014, the show will feature an International Village dedicated to country pavilions for international brands. Vision 2014 – the high-level conference that attracts the regions and world’s influencers and thought leaders will focus on dynamic issues and trends over 3 days of free events. There will also be a Career & Training Zone, The Sustainable Build, & Architectural Design Feature in addition to a networking, a product launch stage, buyer’s club lounge and new outdoor and leisure section.

Dubai’s Expo 2020 is expected to attract in excess of 25m people, and with it the need for over 45,000 new hotel rooms. With just 6 years until the doors open, The Hotel Show provides exhibitors with the opportunity to get on the supplier’s list for major projects by meeting the key decision makers who are the project developers, hotel owners, contractors and interiors-consultants who attend the event to source new suppliers and research new products.

“The Hotel Show could have a serious impact on an order book - more than $860m was spent by participants last year with an expected spend of almost $4bn for the year ahead. The event is located in a healthily growing marketplace and that is about to get significantly bigger with major projects and developments for EXPO 2020 in Dubai, The World Cup 2022 in Qatar, and massive room expansion in Saudi Arabia and Africa.” Added Davidson
